Not Your Father's San Diego Anymore.

San Diego is thought to be a Republican town run by developers. The emerging political story of the past few years involves the rise of a Democratic majority on the City Council run by local labor unions. The latest example is the passage of the so-called living wage law by the City Council. It's not just the ocean that's blue in San Diego anymore. More and more, it's the politics, which is leaving local business feeling blue.
